Banten people in Indonesia speak two different local languages: Banten Javanese and Banten Sundanese. This study investigates the language kinship and dialect variations that occur within these local languages. The research employed a case study involving native speakers of Banten Javanese and Sundanese. Data were analyzed using Miles et al.s model in combination with Swadeshs lexicostatistical technique. The results revealed that (1) 51 pairs of identical words share both morphemic and phonemic similarities; (2) glottochronological estimates suggest that the separation of these local languages from the proto-language occurred between 1171 and 311 BC; and (3) regional dialects are the primary influence on the dialectal variation of these languages. These findings reveal important linguistic relationships among local languages, emphasize the role of regional factors, and determine the value of glottochronology in tracing language development and variation.

Conclusion

This study concludes that there are 51 pairs of identical words between Banten Javanese and Sundanese that exhibit both morphemic and phonemic similarities, consisting of 38 identical vocabularies and 13 phonemic similarities.Based on glottochronological estimates, these similarities suggest that the separation time of these two local languages from a proto-language occurred between 1171 and 311 BC.The findings also reveal that regional or geographical factors primarily influence dialect variations between Banten Javanese and Sundanese.

Future Research

Berdasarkan penelitian ini, terdapat beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan yang dapat dikembangkan. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi pengaruh kontak bahasa antara Banten Javanese dan Sundanese terhadap perkembangan kosakata dan struktur gramatikal masing-masing bahasa. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan menganalisis korpus bahasa yang lebih besar dan beragam, serta melibatkan partisipan dari berbagai latar belakang sosial dan geografis. Kedua, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada studi komparatif antara Banten Javanese dan Sundanese dengan bahasa-bahasa lain di Indonesia yang memiliki hubungan historis, seperti bahasa Jawa dan bahasa Madura. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengidentifikasi fitur-fitur linguistik yang umum dan unik, serta memahami proses evolusi bahasa dalam konteks regional yang lebih luas. Ketiga, penelitian dapat menginvestigasi peran bahasa Banten Javanese dan Sundanese dalam identitas budaya masyarakat Banten, serta bagaimana bahasa-bahasa ini digunakan dalam berbagai konteks sosial, seperti ritual adat, seni pertunjukan, dan komunikasi sehari-hari. Penelitian ini dapat memberikan wawasan tentang pentingnya pelestarian dan revitalisasi bahasa lokal dalam menjaga keberagaman budaya Indonesia.
